Libertopian Ideals Spread: Free University of The People

http://www.forbes.com/sites/ccap/2012/01/19/a-free-college-education-for-all/  “…Founded in 2009, University of the People will exclusively use volunteer faculty. Indeed, the distinction between faculty and student is hopelessly blurred in their model. As a result they aspire to be a tuition-free university open to any high school grad anywhere in the world. Initially they are offering programs in business administration and computer science, and are seeking regional accreditation.
